myths and false stories
:::::your schools lied to you. Finland gave up in March 1940 when the Soviets captured Viipuri and Finnish defenses collapsed. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 10:16, 6 October 2009 (EDT)

:::::: No, our schools did not lie. Losing the war and being invaded have a huge diffrence, you know? Finland surrendered, yes, due to several reasons, but was never invaded. Otherwisely we would still be under Soviet/Russian control, wouldn't we? Also, the Continuation War wouldn't have happened if Soviets would have invaded; of course the Finnish defence force would have been culled. So yes, it was a conflict, not an invasion. Please cease trying to tell me better of my own country's history - we do study it here, you know =D. (JK)

:::::::One of the reasons we have an encyclopedia is to explode myths and false stories, which indeed are taught in public schools. Anyone locked into what they were told at age 12 is unlikely to appreciate serious history. You might ask yourself how the Russians got on the north side of the Finnish defenses and forced a surrender if they did not invade.[[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 11:02, 6 October 2009 (EDT)
